Anger

An Omaha man recently discovered a creative, but not redemptive, way to express his anger.  According to news reports, he had been ticketed by the city for not mowing his grass, so he mowed it.  The problem is that he mowed an obscene expression in the grass.  The obscene phrase covered an area of about 30 feet across the lawn.  Local officials had a debate concerning what to do.  The big argument was whether or not he had broken a law and whether or not his expression was protected by the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
